About Sharing Our Cultures

Sharing Our Cultures was established in 1999 by Dr. Lloydetta Quaicoe as a result of an exploratory study on the “Psychosocial Needs of Immigrant and Refugee School Children.” During a workshop at the release of the findings, study participants recommended opportunities to share and learn from each other’s cultures. The organization has since expanded to include rural schools as well as Aboriginal and Francophone communities.

Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal

On March 1, 2013, Dr. Quaicoe received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for promoting the values of multiculturalism and intercultural relations where the cultural diversity of all people is valued, supported, and enhanced.

“The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal was created to honour those who have made significant contributions to our society and to reflect Her Majesty’s long service to this country. The medals are bestowed to honour Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who, without thought for reward, accolades or remuneration, give countless hours to the service of others. We are all the better because of their drive and dedication in meeting needs, overcoming challenges and making their community, and our great province, a better, more vibrant place to live” (http://www.releases.gov.nl.ca/releases/2013/exec/0301n01.htm).
